I remember being annoyed by a noticeable increase in the diameter of the cabin pillars of new cars that happened in the mid-late 00’s until I found out it’s because before then rollover protection was akin to prayer and new standards were the culprit for the change. Never complained about the reduced visibility since.

A young lady I worked with for a while was in a wreck years ago, before I met her, that resulted in a rollover in an older vehicle. It absolutely flattened the top of the cabin and pinned her inside with a badly shattered femur. From memory she said it was 4 hours before someone found her. Frankly; fuck that. Give me a new car with a bunch of safety considerations, thanks.

Also helps eye strain or eye related health problems.

I suffer from headaches from overstimulation and warm screen tones help with that. A friend of mine who works in IT once had an eye infection, when he went back to work he was still struggling but when I told him about f.lux (back before it was a feature built into OS’s) it helped him a lot.

I’ve never been sold on ‘blue light’ being a problem but there’s definitely something that makes warm tones just a bit nicer on the eyes.

I bet it makes a noise like a Skeksi saying hmm.

The EV Mad Max movies are going to be an interesting twist on the setting.

We just have to create a penguin reserve on Pluto and make sure no dark matter tankers fly within 30ft of it to avoid toll booths.

Judging by the size of the holes it’s a filter for newborns.

SpoilerI’m definitely going to hell for that one.

Something missing from this discussion (that I’ve read) is the size of Lemmy. On a much larger platform you can have 6 different flavours of meme communities or tech communities where there are rules banning political news etc but there’s simply not enough people here to split communities.

It also means that smaller communities, like video game specific communities, have all but died off as the couple of people that started them have lost interest or left Lemmy.

While I get some of the arguments I’ve seen against trying to grow Lemmy these small communities are doomed without a dedicated passionate following and places based around niche topics are never going to survive in such a small space.

With all that said; politics are universal and touch on pretty much every aspect of our lives so political topics come up in every community, even small ones and especially one as politically charged as Lemmy.

That’s so insane.

And by ‘em I mean me. Holding time now, folding time later.

 
 

I don’t know if it’s caused by Voyager, the website or Lemmy by I’ve seen a few of these cut-off thumbnails but they are hilarious every time!

 

[iPhone 15 PM] Has anyone else been having issues with alarms only sounding for a moment? I’ve caught mine a couple of times where it goes off for about a second and then stops completely. Makes waking up for work a bit sketchy!

 

Whilst the keys weren’t visible in the UI they could still be interacted with and worked normally.

I’ve submitted feedback.

 

This only appeared for a second before returning to the date but it looks like time to charge will be displayed on the Lock Screen.

Hopefully it can be set to stay in-place.

I know when things first kicked off we would get server updates semi-regularly such as finances and server load. I can’t say I’ve seen one for a while, just wondering how things are going?
